Description: "This book examines the rise of air/land power and why British and American air forces handled it in a mediocre way until 1940, but by 1942 were leaders in the field ... it places the study in the context of the development of doctrine and practice in an inter-Allied and inter-service environment, and the evolution of systems of command, control, and communications, and intelligence."--Page 4 of cover.
